Migration of the Bodding family to the New World and Oceana

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Emd Nicholas Baudin settled in Philadelphia in 1857; Jacques Baudin settled in Louisiana in 1756; Theo Baudin settled in Philadelphia in 1794; Joseph Baudin, son of Pierre and Marie-Anne Aupry married Catherine Mesnil of Qué.

The Bodding Motto

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
